I was born in a country used to seeing itself at the tail of every statistic. In my teens I heard nothing but bad news about every possible index on TV. But our rational, effective and most of all humane response to #COVID makes me proud to be Portuguese. https://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/portugal-how-lisbon-has-managed-the-corona-crisis-a-b6e3c7ba-a172-4c11-a043-79849ff69def

The comic take on this being of course how good we are at sitting on our arses and doing nothing. When the world cowered in fear at getting told to lock down do nothing and stay home, the Portuguese simply said:

"Hold my beer."

Shit I think I'm prouder of this than Euro 2016
